Crossroads Half Marathon

Please join us for the 5th annual Crossroads Half Marathon race on a fast and relatively flat course.

Event:
Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 8 a.m.
Crossroads Half Marathon hosted by Crossroads Running Club

Cost: $7.99 - $20.25*

We’ve been trying to host this race for free but unfortunately we are unable to continue to do so. We’ve encountered too many no-shows and last-minute dropouts which raise our costs substantially and unnecessarily. We could never thank our sponsors and volunteers enough for all their help over the past couple of years. 

Course Description:
The course runs on the Middlesex Greenway, a picturesque open space resource within the communities of Metuchen, Edison, and Woodbridge. Situated on a historic portion of Lehigh Valley rail corridor. It is a 3.6 mile long and 10-foot wide, paved asphalt tree-lined trail. The course will be marked. We will also have a copy of the course map posted in the Start area.

Schedule of events:
 7:50 am National Anthem
7:55 Pre-race instructions
8:00 am Start of Crossroads Half Marathon

Timing:
Timing will be provided by Compuscore, a premier race timer in the area. 

Race Cutoff time:
You must complete the 13.1 miles in 3 hours, or approximately 13:40 minutes per mile.

Course Support:
Water will be available at the Start/Finish area and around miles 2.9 and 4.3. Water and Refreshments will be available in the Start / Finish area.

Awards: Top 3 Overall Male and Top 3 Overall Female.  Finisher's Medal to all the runners.
